Plate+Tectonics,+Earthquakes,+Volcanoes

= Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes and Volcanoes Please complete the tasks in numerical order! = ===  1.   C omplete this before you move on to the other links, this should take approximately 10 minutes  === === **2**. [|Plate Tectonics]**- Please listen to the podcast, even though it says it is for Astronomy they are talking about Plate Tectonics** ===

===3. & Click on the map below to review the different plate boundaries and complete the handout. ===

=== 4. & Complete the online questions to check your understanding. If you get less than 70 percent you need to go back and review the information on plate tectonics ===

5. Please complete the discussion question at the top of the page, in the discussion tab (Maryland's Risk from geologic Hazards)
=Earthquakes- This section will review earthquakes, faults and seismic waves=

7. [[image:look.gif width="64" height="61"]]&[[image:writing.jpg width="45" height="45"]] Use the links provided and complete the handout [[file:Stresses and Faults handout.pdf]]
Stress and Plate Boundaries Faults

//Use the links in # 8 and #9 and #10 to review information about earthquakes//
===8. Earthquake Key Terms Click the play button by figure #3. **What is the difference between the epicenter and the focus?**===

===9. Seismic Waves **What are the three seismic waves? Which wave travels the fastest? Which wave causes the most damage?**===

You will need to know this information to complete #12.!
===11. Earthquake Simulation Click on the link "Make a Quake" to observe different conditions and the resulting earthquakes===

===12. &  Application- Location of the epicenter Go to the bottom of the page, there are 4 locations:San Francisco area, Southern California, Japan region, and Mexico. Working in you assigned groups, each person will locate the epicenter for 1 of the locations. In the discussion tab(Seismic Risk-Four Locations), your group needs to determine which location would be at the greatest risk for significant damage if the earthquake was an 7.5 on the Richter scale. You need to describe the impact for your location and as group determine where to send emergency relief.===

=Volcanoes- This section will review the different types of volcanoes, volcanic eruptions=

Types of Volcanoes and volcano Simulation
USGS Principal Types of Volcanoes

14 & Real Time Earthquake Data World Volcanoes Map You will need to compare the risk of geologic hazards for a selected location to the hazards in Maryland. You will need use the links provided on the Citing Your Sources and Backgoud Information link on the navigation bar to the left side of the screen. Your final project needs to be a Prezi, PowerPoint or other project with teacher approval.
